the first thing i remember is a cave. I look up, and my parents, cloaked in darkness, are enchanting me, trying to take me to the dark. I look down, and see blood. my blood, and i realize, i don’t remember anything. I watched my parents flee to a dark mountain, never to be seen again, and from then on swore an oath of blood to extinguish the darkness. I traveled far and wide, learning skills to fight the dark, I made friends, and lost family. I will not fail my oath. I am Aaron Brookwood, and i will finish what i started.
I have never found a place to call home, and have never known any relatives.I learned many skills from my companion, Elfrom, a high elf who is not like the others. We fought many battles, and on one fateful day, my only companion died at the hands of the dark. The last 4 years of my life I have been searching for a meaning to life, of which I still have not found. I will travel far, make bonds, and extinguish the dark. I will travel the empire, from city to city, and seek the darkness.
I will travel and find dwarven relics from the great collapse, for I had heard my parents chanting about them that one frightful night. They said they needed five scrolls, so that is what i seek. Next, I would seek the dead outposts and find my parents, whom I had heard lay hidden there. I would seek to either save them from their dark magics, or if it comes to it, I will kill them and their legacy of evil. I would then travel the world, seeking a home I never knew. But all he knew, was that where he found shade magic, he would find his parents.
Aaron turns to the man, and addresses him “kind sir, I thank you for your hospitality, but I am afraid I have no time to spare. I am headed for the market to prepare for a long and dangerous journey, so good day, and do not delay me.”
The man looks saddened by the abrupt end to the conversation but understands. This Aaron fellow looks like somebody not to be messed with.
“fare thee well then, and tarry not.” the man said, and walked away.
Aaron mumbles under his breath “waste of my time i do say...”
